Does readigrass = smelly wee?

[Lisajazz]

I'm probably barking up the wrong tree but this week I started on Readigrass instead of another brand.

Anyway their wee has been terrible - it stinks!

Could it be the readigrass (they did eat alot of it)? Only other thing different is no greens but we have done that before.

Is it all of them? Can't say I've had that problem sorry lisa!

I've never noticed that with any of mine sorry hun.

That's okay I thought it was the wrong tree....

No idea what's caused it though. Its in the one big cage - not noticed it in the other cage but there are only 3 in there....

Hey just thought is the redigrass on newspaper or where they can wee on it?
Only when I put it in Rogers litter tray on the newspaper and he wee'd on it it did smell.

Try putting it in a dish, when I stopped putting it where he could pee on it the smell stopped, just a thought hun.

Okay well I need to keep an eye out for that too. See that's where it's hard having 7 in a cage.

Thanks hun.

If it helps any mines in a dish too, so maybe why it doesn't smell .

When they are eating a lot of dry grass they need to drink lots more or the wee becomes too concentrated which makes the smell more noticable .Mine love redigrass but they drink 4 large bottles of water a day . Mind you there are a lot of them. Just a thought.

I found that just newspaper/hay and wee do not mix. I have gone back to putting a layer of wood chippings in my toilet corners, so they can still sit and sleep on the hay layer on top, but it doesn't smell up as quickly. Even then, I change regularly.
